That GOOD GOOD Around the Web
Atlanta-based designer Azede Jean-Pierre recently released
some photos from her SS/12 Capsule Collection lookbook. I am absolutely in love
with the sheer fabrics, the tailoring, and the overall femininity of these
pieces, Azede certainly outdid herself. If you are unfamiliar with Azede, she
is no stranger to That GOOD GOOD Blog and you can click here to read my past posts on her & her work. Here are a few
more photos from the lookbook:
D’Angelo is back, ya’ll! After an 11+ year long absence,
D’Angelo graced Stockholm, Sweden with a performance so riveting, it had
R&B fanatics everywhere taking to the world wide web to bear witness to the
magnificent footage. Not only did he serve up some of his more memorable hits
such as ‘Chicken Grease’ and ‘Devil’s Pie’, Mr. How Does It Feel also debuted a
brand new song entitled ‘Sugar Daddy’. This man’s voice is as brilliant as ever
and his soul seems to be in the right place too. I’m so happy to see him back, it
feels like the music world is starting to make sense to me again. Click here, here, and here to see
the performance.
A friend of mine put me on to this producer/MC a few
weeks ago and I have been hooked ever since. Oddisee is dope, I love his sound.
Make sure you look him up on youtube! Here are a few of my favorite tracks of
his:
Chocolate City Dreaming, Once Again, Detroit & Mattered Much
This is, perhaps, the most creative tumblr that I’ve ever
seen. As stated on the site: “If
your house was burning, what would you take with you? It's a conflict between
what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your
interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed
into one question.” People from all over the world send in photos, like
the one seen above, displaying the items they would try to take from their
burning houses. It’s such a simple yet amazing concept and as I peered through
the site, it made me wonder what I would take myself. The Burning House is
definitely worth a minute (or 5) of your time!

LAURENCEAIRLINE
Hello! I hope 2012 has
been treating everyone extremely well thus far. Today, I would like to share a brand
that I have been following for quite some time with you all. LAURENCEAIRLINE is
a fashion label based out of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, the hometown of
LAURENCEAIRLINE’s chief designer, Laurence Chauvin Buthaud. The concept that “fashion
and ethnic cultures can successfully collaborate to create possibilities for
the future” is the driving force behind this line and also provides a vehicle
for creating job opportunities in Abidjan amidst the aftermath of the
humanitarian and political crisis in the Ivory Coast. LAURENCEAIRLINE’s SS/12 menswear
collection entitled “ABIDJAN” features shirts and underwear composed of brilliantly
colored poplin, chambray, and wax cotton fabrics which display an aesthetic
similar to that of traditional African wear. I must say, I have seen wax cotton
and ankara overused, misused and abused within the past couple of years so it is
extremely, extremely refreshing to
see this fabric used so well. LAURENCEAIRLINE brings beauty and hope to a land
that has been impacted by pain and despair and has thus earned the good good
seal of approval. Please enjoy the photos & video, and make sure you click
on the LAURENCEAIRLINE website link at the bottom of this post as well.
